Clos du Chêne Vert is one of the most iconic sites in Chinon, a steep amphitheater of limestone and clay where Cabernet Franc develops both concentration and lift. Joguet farms the parcel organically and harvests by hand, preserving the aromatic detail the vineyard is known for. The 2019 vintage combines the warmth of the year with the site’s natural freshness, resulting in a wine of impressive balance and complexity.
The aromas are vivid and layered with black cherry, cassis, and violets, with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a clear mineral thread. On the palate, the wine is focused and structured, offering ripe dark fruit framed by fine, persistent tannins. A cool, stony edge carries the finish, giving the wine both length and definition.
Clos du Chêne Vert remains one of Chinon’s essential bottlings, a serious Cabernet Franc from a singular site that is built to age.
Varietal: Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Chinon, Loire Valley, France
Farming: Organic
Style: Red. Structured, aromatic, and age-worthy
